adidas Trail Running Shoes

Channel your inner warrior and find your inspiration in the great outdoors when you lace up a pair of trail running shoes from adidas. Challenge yourself to keep up the pace as you ascend steep inclines and fly down aggressive descents. The trail might be rocky, snow-packed, muddy or icy. Conditions might be rainy, sleeting or excruciatingly hot in the sweltering sun. But in our trail running sneakers, you'll dodge tree roots and scramble over scree with sure-footedness, agility and ease. You'll make it to your destination with plenty of time to munch on a snack, slug down some water and take in the gorgeous view. With adidas trail trainers, the sky's the limit.

Our trail runners are built to handle it all. Abrasion-resistant uppers repel snags from rock edges and plant debris. Durable, rugged outsoles with deep biting edges ensure all-weather traction even on slippery terrain. Some outdoor running shoes prioritize acceleration. Others keep you stable on your feet. Technologies like high-traction Continental™ Rubber outsoles, energy-returning adidas Boost cushioning, waterproof RAIN.RDY tech and the micro-adjustable BOA® Fit System to dial in fit ensure you stay amped up and ready for any challenge. Shop adidas trail running shoes for footwear that ensures you can go the distance, wherever your outdoor adventures take you.

Trail Running Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a running shoe and a trail shoe?

Trail shoes are like more rugged cousins of running shoes. Both offer comfort, but trail running shoes add grippy lugs to handle rocks and roots. They're tougher — with more protective uppers and sometimes rock plates — and sturdier — with stiffer soles for navigating uneven terrain. Running shoes bring speed, and trail shoes bring stability. Visit our blog for tips on how to choose running shoes.

Can you use trail running shoes for everyday running?

Trail shoes can work for everyday runs, with caveats. They offer great grip and support, but they can be heavier and less flexible than dedicated road shoes. Consider your priorities: If comfort and grip outweigh weight, go for trails runners. But for pure speed and road feel, stick to dedicated running shoes.

Are trail running shoes good for walking?

Trail runners can be great for casual walks and gentle hikes. Lighter and more flexible than hiking boots, trail shoes offer cushioned comfort, grippy traction and stable support. However, in wet and muddy conditions, waterproof boots might be a better option. And if you plan to walk on rough or bumpy trails, boots offer more stability.
